The Community Foundation of Central Illinois has awarded Princeton's Festival 56 theater group a $10,000 grant to help fund a production of Urinetown and a summer camp that will provide a paid college internship and high school student assistant, the Daily Herald reports.

"Many youths will create lifelong acquaintances, follow these professional carriers, and travel to regional theaters and national tour productions in the process," says the festival's website.

"Later they may network with them as they make decisions concerning their own futures in the arts."

Urinetown runs July 12 through July 21, and the camp runs June 24 to July 5, providing a paid college internship and high school student assistant, delivering more hands on assistance and supervision to camp participants.
